Implying A Cause Of Action Under Section 503 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Michigan Law Review
Implying A Cause Of Action Under Section 503 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note urges courts to recognize a private right of action under section 503. Part I reviews all the evidence of legislative intent available today. It concludes that by now the congressional desire for a private right of action has become abundantly clear. Part II examines the more difficult issue of when that congressional desire crystallized into law. It finds ample reliable evidence that a private right of action has existed since Congress first passed section 503 in 1973.
Postsecondary And Vocational Education Programs And The "Otherwise Qualified" Provision Of Section 504 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Marc P. Charmatz, Andrew S. Penn
Postsecondary And Vocational Education Programs And The "Otherwise Qualified" Provision Of Section 504 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Marc P. Charmatz, Andrew S. Penn
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
While the Rehabilitation Act defines a "handicapped individual,'' neither the language of section 504 nor its legislative history sheds much light on the exact meaning of the term ''otherwise qualified handicapped individual.'' This article will argue that the definition of this term must be broad enough to include severely handicapped persons, the primary group that Congress intended to benefit and protect in enacting section 504. Focussing on the area of postsecondary education, this article will argue that the interpretation developed in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Regulation most effectively fulfills the purposes which Congress intended in enacting …
Legislative Notes: The Education Of All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, Donald W. Keim
Legislative Notes: The Education Of All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, Donald W. Keim
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I reviews the landmark judicial decisions which have established the right of handicapped children to participate in free, public education. The basic provisions of the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 are then presented in Part II. The funding provisions are discussed in Part III with particular emphasis upon the tension between the promise of federal largesse and the expense of compliance with statutory and judicial requirements. Part IV reviews prior efforts to obtain judicial recognition of a substantive right to an appropriate education and suggests some ways in which the 1975 Act may alter the framework …
The Right To An Adequate Income And Employment: A Reply To Professor Bernstein, David L. Chambers
The Right To An Adequate Income And Employment: A Reply To Professor Bernstein, David L. Chambers
Book Chapters
Bernsteins's Paper advances no constitutional arguments for requiring the government to ensure economic security for retarded citizens. His omission is justified not merely by the alternative focus he has chosen, but also by the absence of any sound or vendible constitutional arguments to advance. There remain, however, important roles for attorneys.
The Principle Of The Least Restrictive Alternative For Mentally-Retarded Persons: The Constitutional Issues, David L. Chambers
The Principle Of The Least Restrictive Alternative For Mentally-Retarded Persons: The Constitutional Issues, David L. Chambers
Book Chapters
Mentally retarded people are people. When strong reasons exist to treat them differently from other people, they should be provided the necessary services, restraint, or protection through means that intrude as little as possible on their freedom to live the life that others are permitted to live. "Normalization" is the term professionals use to define the goal and the process of helping mentally retarded citizens lead a "normal" life. The attainment of this goal involves undoing the multitude of formal constrictions governments have typically placed on the retarded citizen's freedom: his place of residence, his schooling, his control over his …
Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review
Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Employment of the handicapped is clearly a proper concern of the state. Unemployed, such a person is a burden on his family and on the state; welfare and relief payments to such a person needlessly increase costs to both the state and local governments supporting such programs. Employed, the handicapped person is a self-supporting, stable member of the community; he becomes a taxpayer rather than a tax consumer. There are also important moral and social considerations which may be simply summarized stating that no person who is able to work should be needlessly denied employment. In short, any continued waste …
Toward Uniform Guardianship Legislation, William F. Fratcher
Toward Uniform Guardianship Legislation, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
The Model Probate Code, part IV of which covers guardianship of the persons and property of infants and mental incompetents, was published in 1946 under the auspices of the University of Michigan Law School. It was prepared for the Probate Law Division of the Section of Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law of the American Bar Association by its Model Probate Code Committee in cooperation with the research staff of the Law School. No state has adopted the Model Probate Code in its entirety, but parts of it have been enacted in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, …
Social Security Disability Determinations: The Burden Of Proof On Appeal, Michigan Law Review
Social Security Disability Determinations: The Burden Of Proof On Appeal, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In 1956, the Social Security Act was amended to provide monthly disability insurance benefits to qualifying individuals under a uniform national program administered by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Under this program, a claimant is entitled to disability benefits if he is unable to "engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to be of long continued and indefinite duration." This definition and its accompanying statutory standards were purposely made conservative in order to minimize the problems inherent in initiating the program; it was contemplated that …
Workmen's Compensation - Benefits - Exclusiveness Of Schedule Provision, Mark Shaevsky
Workmen's Compensation - Benefits - Exclusiveness Of Schedule Provision, Mark Shaevsky
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff received benefits under the schedule provisions of the Michigan workmen's compensation statute for amputation of four fingers and one leg. Upon the expiration of payments the hearing officer awarded additional recovery for plaintiff's total disability resulting from the amputation. After subtracting compensation received for the specified losses, the appeal board affirmed. On appeal to the supreme court, held, affirmed by an equally divided court. The legislature intended the schedule provisions to be irreducible minimum awards, not exclusive compensation. Curtis v. Hayes Wheel Co., which construed schedule allowances as barring further recovery for total and permanent disability, is …
